I've been a confirmed REO user since I got my first Mini back in the fall of 2010. I started vaping in November of 2009, starting on a KR8 with pre-filled cartos. I soon decided to start filling my own cartos, and it didn't take long to get tired of that routine. In early summer of 2010, a cheap bottom-feed mod called the WetBox became available, so I bought one - it was the perfect solution, or so it seemed. It was cheaply made and leaked like a sieve, but I was sold on the concept. When I got wind of the new REO Mini in the fall of 2010, I knew I had to have one - all the good of the WetBox and none of the bad, and built to last from aircraft aluminum. I ordered one as soon as it was available, and it continues to live up to its promise to this day. And shortly afterward, its bigger brother, the Grand, became available, so I had to have one of those as well. The Grand has been beaten like a red-headed stepchild since I got it, and never misses a beat. I have also added a few more REO's to my arsenal, and my wife loves her Mini. And since I got my first RBA for it about a year ago, they just keep getting better.
Here is a pic of my Grand the day I got it back in November 2010, along with the Mini:
And here is another pic of my Grand from back in March, after 28 months of daily abuse. It's like a Timex - takes a licking and keeps on ticking:
It is hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of a REO - it just works. And you get an amazing community and customer service at no extra charge.
